I think this summer has been "the summer of the crop top" for me. I remember last summer I was starting to get into them, but couldn't ever find them in clothing stores to try them out. The two I actually had were both thrifted! Now they're everywhere (it's hard to find anything not cropped), and at Aero especially we carry a ton. They're just my favorite type of top to wear right now because they seem a little bit cooler in the summer heat, and they're flattering for smaller busted gals like myself.

This one is my fifth one I've gotten since I got back to Aero? Jeeze, I gotta stop. But I got a peek at the new inventory that we're getting in the store this weekend and it's going to be sooo hard to resist! Ergh, working in a clothing store you like can be both a blessing and a curse!

I love that bow in the back. Crop tops definitely are everywhere now! I start a retail job tomorrow actually but its at Nordstrom so Im hoping the price of everything keeps me away from wanting to purchase my whole check away. http://theredlipchronicles.blogspot.com

This is such a summery, bright, beautiful post you have today, Lauren! I totally agree with the two previous commenters who encouraged you to be a plus-size model.... You'd be absolutely perfect! :) I also wanted to compliment you on your hairstyle today - it looks beyond wonderful! Thanks for your post, and God's blessings to you!
